I always try to avoid shaving, as a groomer,. Try warm 100%pure coconut oil.make sure its.warm..massage into mat first before brushing. It's so good for their skin and hair too!

She’s so calm, mine goes nuts

You have saved my sanity… I have a Maltese and is so matted. I have been trying to comb it out and it just keeps matting and matting. Using your technique I was able to brush her out and you have encouraged me to continue. I really thought I was gonna have to get her shaved down and we are going into winter in northern Ontario. She sends a big bark to you and thanks you as well.

Thank You soo much!!!!! I bought a 8 wk. old yorkie and the breeder gave her a bath before l got her and l don’t feel she knew what she was doing and l felt mats so l took her to a groomer and she said she would have to be shaved. I said no so l took her and tried to comb her gently but she would cry and that hurt me so bad. I have another yorkie almost 2yrs old l comb and brush her everyday and no mats l was just sick about it. I took her back to the groomer to get her hair cut or shaved / thank God she took her time with her and didn’t cut or shave her and got all the mats out she charged me $85.00 to get mats out. I am going to do what you say and watch all the tapes on how to groom her myself at home. Ma’am you are are God sent!!!! Thank You 🙏🏽🌹

Thank you for adding this video. Love seeing that its not shaving. Like every other people. Thank you ❤

I had a puppy and they charged 85.00 for Matt’s on legs l try to brush like you did. 2lbs but l play your video over and over. Thank You 🙏🏽 ❤❤🌹

OMG! The tongue!!!! Oh she is so adorable! What a good little girl! Thank you! This save me from having to shave my 4 mos Yorkie for a few mats. She HATES being brushed, having her face washed, etc.......:(. I try every day to be positive about her brushing and give treats and lots of praise doing this daily, slowly, gently. I can't get her to be OK with it. Makes me so sad.

Great job adorable yorkie

I will try this with my yorkie. Thanks for this video!!

This helped me so much with my new puppy! THANK YOU!!!

I want to thank you because I to got busy n haven't brushed

Thank goodness !! All the groomers videos show them using the metal brush- and I just thought that was insane 🤪 .. I have the exact same female yorkie that you have and she gets matted and even tried brushing while bathing.. I also have the same brush that your using- thanks for sharing and I will give it a try.

Thank you so much🦋

Thank you!!

Thank you for this video. I have a 6-month-old shi tzu and she does have some mats. My dog does not like me to brush her hair, but I have been using a pin brush so maybe if I use the bristle type it will work. I will be trying this.

Can you post a link to that particular brush you are using please? Did you get it on Amazon or at Petsmart or what is it called? Is that a slimmer? Which one?

I had a previous groomer shave my morkie bc she found 2 small knots under each front leg (her words) n no other knots. I brought him in as a blk n white ball of fur n picked up a pink, white n grey scared n shaking puppy! I thought she was giving me the wrong dog. She Said ik he is short but I gave you a jacket!!! I literally cried! He was 12 wks old at the time, now he is 3yrs old, he also needs to be medicated for his grooming. I won't ever go bk to her.

my problem is my Yorkie's tail - the matting at the top is bad and it seems to hurt her if i brush it as it snags so i have to cut it out but i will try the coconut oil

My favorite groomer shaves matted dogs who have been grossly neglected and living on the street. They arrive sick, flea-ridden, and in need of a lot of help. HE IS IS A TRAINED DOG GROOMER WHO WORKS ON NEGLECTED DOGS FOR FREE. Your instruction would really help other dog owners.

My rescue yorkie doesn´t empty her own adrenal glands, do you have any advice?

The pin side is supposed to not pull the hair out or break the hair. Fortunately my yorkie loves being brushed with the pin side..

Rolls up like an armadillo😂. Ex Texan here

I need a better brush. My brush that is similar to that does absolute zilch for my yorkie, I have to use a slicker which I know can hurt and is not good for yorkie hair. He has super thin skin and hair in certain places. He does not get too matted but he gets little knots in places like his belly and armpits and he hates me brushing them. I also need to teach him to lie down like that while I'm brushing him, he's usually fine getting on his belly but he's very resistant to do it while brushing him and I don't want to force it as he already dislikes brushing but will put up with it mostly. I'm new to small dogs and long haired dogs so it's a learning curve for me right now, he has short hair at the moment but longer on the beard and legs

She has clean eyes.. how you do that

My Yorkie won't let me comb him or try to get mats out. I am beside myself..I try to put a muzzle on him and he bites me

baby powder does a great job

Mine would go into instant play mode ! BUT, this actually works! Just tried it on an awful mat on her rump. She loves brushing and I failed to do it for 4 days (have a cold). SHAME on me!!

Keep them brushed and they won’t have tangles , I brush mine every day

Why did you not brush her? She wouldn't have to go through this

My Yorkie HATES the metal toothed brush like you are using, and I know it hurts him. I refuse to comb him with anything metal. Also, refuse to take him to groomer because they shaved him and made him look like a darn lion. I wish you’d get that long hair out of this sweet girl’s eyes. It has to be bothersome to her. Oh my!

Cut longways through fur knots will be easy to separate.

That is painful for her if your hair was a matted mess would you want someone to pull your hair please don't put shirts on a long haired dog there skin needs to breathe and of course it will matt

What a mess

There is a reason for groomers to shave dogs! Stop lying to people! Brush your dogs Before they get matted! OUTRAGEOUS 🤬

COMB AND BRUSH YOUR YORKIE'S HAIR DAILY! STOP BEING LAZY! THAT'S HOW YOU AVOID MATTING. GEEZ!!
